Napier Road, Eastville

"This house has been a true labour of love; from the bespoke plywood kitchen, to our aubergine colour-drenched bedroom. It has cradled us through many pivotal moments - marriage, a pandemic, career changes, and two children. Whether we’re browsing the M32 flea market on our way to play in Eastville Park, picking up the best samosas in Bristol from Jeevans, or balance biking on the skate park, there’s so much within easy walking distance. Weekends are picnics in the west-facing garden, coffee catch-ups at Catacolours Café 5, pantry top-ups at Sweetmart and Matter Wholefoods, or—on rainy days—tiring out a toddler in the aisles of IKEA. It’s a warm, welcoming place in a brilliantly connected, creative corner of the city—and we’ll miss it dearly."

This well-presented two bedroom home has been well-loved by this growing family. The decor is bright and colourful throughout, with original features like fireplaces, glass work, and high ceilings. The living room at the front has a large bay window inviting in plenty of light and is used as a cosy snug. The open-plan kitchen and dining room at the rear of the property is the hub of the home, it feels sociable and the doors open out on to the small garden at the rear. The hallway's pastel colour palette feels joyful and welcomes visitors in to the home. Upstairs there are two good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom. There is access to the generous loft space which has been great for storage.
